Rain interrupts England chase
England lost Craig Kieswetter early in their pursuit of 270 in 40 overs to wrap up the NatWest Series 3-0 against India in Cardiff on Friday night.
The hosts were set a revised Duckworth-Lewis target, after centurion Virat Kohli and Rahul Dravid powered India to 304 for six and rain then swept over the SWALEC Stadium between innings.
After 9.1 overs in powerplay, when another shower sent the players off again, they were 53 for one - Kieswetter gone lbw trying to clip Vinay Kumar to leg, having contributed initial momentum against the new ball.
Kohli's sixth hundred at this level and Dravid's 69 - in his 344th and final one-day international - provided India's earlier impetus, and then Mahendra Singh Dhoni crashed an unbeaten 50 from only 26 balls to complete the punishment.
Another home victory, in this day-night match, would give England a 3-0 success in this rain-blighted series - to add to their 4-0 Test and one-off Twenty20 verdicts.
But they would need to prove even more than previously their apparent aptitude for chasing, after India's past and future had combined to such wonderful effect in a third-wicket stand of 170.
